Hey thank you for the videos and really admire the maturity of the yo ma’am. Something we take for granted and the younger generation that we shouldn’t.
I am impressed with the window & skid plate repair. It is easy to see the cooperative spirit & love between father & son. Neither blaming the other & both working together to correct the problem & get back to the original goal before the break downs. I like it a lot! God bless both.
This video brought back a good memory of my late husband. He found a torque wrench at a pawn shop for $20 (which was not his normal place to shop ... usually Rural King, etc!). I heard him say, more than once, "that's the best $20 I ever spent". So torque wrenches must be handy to have. Thanks Cole and Brian. God bless you and have a great week.
Former New Holland welder here . We used to use a block of copper for a backing block for large gaps or thin material. Might not have helped for this but is a handy trick
Rare to see Brian looking dejected. I will pray he gets some quality time with the family. That always cheers him up ! God please bless Brian and his family and everyone they interact with, Amen.
Not returning a borrowed item is a huge pet peeve for me, I was brought up to return the item at least in a cleaner condition than when borrowed. This reminds me of the film 'Out of Africa' where Berkeley Cole and Baroness Blixen were discussing a friend who had borrowed a book but didn't return it. Cole said to Denys..."You wouldn't lose a friend for the sake of a book." Denys said, "No, but he has, hasn't he?"
Hey Cole you mentioned in your video that you would have to replace the whole cutter bar to fix that hole. That cutter bar will come apart at each individual module. There are 2 rods with each module that have nuts on each end. You take those bolts and nuts off to break the cutter bar down. Unfortunately I’ve had to do it several times.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting. First of all my compliments to Brian and Cole for hanging in there and getting the job done. I know you have had a bad week with all the breakdowns and things broken. You got some hay off of the ditches to help with the hay supply. Cole nice job welding that skid plate on the mower. Seems to be holding just fine. Glad you got done with the ditches and got that behind you. I know this has been a hard week on both of you especially Brian. Hard to see your equipment damaged. You both please kick back and take it easy and know you got the job done. Like that sprayer you have in the back of the gator. Works good. You really got those grasshoppers knocked down. About it I guess for now. You gentlemen take it easy and relax from a hard week. Take care of yourselves. You both are the best!!!!!!! Thanks for everything. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Good out of bad. It is a great help that Cole is an expert welder. It is so heart warming to see father and son working closely when things go wrong and the ditches do really look good. And you got a decent amount of bales. You inspire and are a blessing to many of us. Good on you.
You know it's way more fun to watch real people doing real life things than watching those Goofy actors in Hollywood, Cal-E-forny. Thanks for all the videos ! 👍
A grand idea for some merch. The pic of Pop's with the shirt wrapped round his heard on shirts. Sonne Farms on the front and Daddy's pic on the back. I would by enough for my entire family. :-)
Cole on those cutters, the gear boxes come a part, it’s a real pain to do it but the gear box is like $500 but it has all new internals and the shell/shafts! I did that same thing about a week ago
I know things can happen with or without unusual conditions, but the added rocks and debris in the ditch surely gave it an added issue. The windows being broke is a shame and I seen a comment where a suggested wire mesh over the window, was given. I put an expanded metal one over the back of my open station, when my son had a PTO shaft fly off and hit the head liner of the canopy just an inch or two above his head. Good to see you getting those ditches done, at least no one was injured. Thanks for sharing, I hope you have a nice, safe weekend!👍
For your windows, I have seen the MO Clay County mowers that have a 'PlexiGlass' shield sitting on the hitch / hitch arm that prevents rock strikes from hitting the rear window., If not plexiglass, even the diamond cut screen door sheet metal would be nice to have on the hitch arm of implements that would kick back rocks.
As a non farmer, I am continuously impressed with the talents and skills this career entails and how well Brian and Cole have acquired and applied them ( veterinary, agriculture, carpentry, electrical, welding, meteorology, mechanical engineering, glass replacement, finance, videography… I’m sure I’ve missed others so please feel free to add. I am truly in awe and appreciate farmers even more by the educational videos you produce. Thank you.
Brian, that photo of you with the hoodie around your head looks like your hiding from the bad guys!! Cole good weld job, it is amazing what you do on your own like putting in windows, welding. So sad that you had such bad luck. Cole, now you just gave me a idea for the perfect Christmas gift for my husband, your little friend, YEA BABY!!🔥🔥🔥
Hi Sonne .I loved watching your videos, and modern agriculture machinery saved the time and effort that our ancestors used to spend. Sonne you should invite me to your farm I live in Vancouver Canadian 💐🚜
On those new Holland disc mowers you can replace just the pod that is damaged. Should be able to undo the tie bolts and put in a new pod. Either the casing or a complete pod.
I enjoy all of your videos. I am glad that Brian wasn't hurt by that rock but like you I wish that people would stop littering. I'm looking forward to your next video. Thanks for all that you do.
Way to go Cole!! I knew you'd weld something on that mess. Can't be ordering parts every dang time something breaks or wears out! The only way you can stay in business is to fix or repair it yourself! Good job1
I work for some cattle farmers and we put a temporary metal frame with HD Wire mesh to cover the back window in hopes of stopping rocks from hitting glass. Doesn’t look pretty but really works
Hi Cole. Great videos. I have the same new holland cutter. You can split the cutter bar with those big bolts under the pods. And replace just the one gearbox. I did mine a few years ago. Got a reman one. I think it was around $350. Not to hard to do. Did it by myself. Have a good one.
Your channel shows that farming is consistent hard work. By the way, we had a window that shattered on our van. (It was a side window.) I had to get out a vacuum after the van came back after being repaired. They did a great job on the window but the cleanup was lacking in our experience. I guess you know who to complain to if you have any complaints. 😂
Sometimes the best solution is to find where you can run Teks in and bolt a J.B. bang-aid on bellies like that. Then tip the cutter bar so it doesn't drag. Straight bar flail harvester is probably your best bet for handling ditch hay, machine like a Stackhand. Remember to tip the cutter bar so it doesn't drag because tipped cutter bars not dragging keeps the cutter bars from dragging on the ground when you're cutting. Draggin's bad. Song of the day is "Stop Draggin My Bar Around" by Steel Nicks and Torn Plating.
I think if you’re going to continue going for the ditch hay maybe consider getting forestry guards for the doors and the rear windows 😢 or keep buying new glass every time you hit something. 😮 5:05
Brian’s head gear going to be the new Sonne Merch? Cole your getting to be the go to welder guy! Awesome! Great video as usual 👍👍👍👍 Brian going to let you loose with that flame thrower? 🫣😲
You guys were lucky with your mower repair. I have rebuilt two John Deere ones in the past. Those were nothing by gears in the bottom of the belly. One big long gully of gears and oil.
Even the blacktop roads around here have plenty of crushed rock in them. Seems that the county likes to put new shoulders on around the first and of November so they can scrape it off after the first snowfall.
Glad to see that you are done with the ditch hay. You guys didn't have a easy time of it. I guess you take the hay and move on. . Take Care and Be safe on the farm. Out
"Richard (Linkletter) said withdrawing in disgust is not the same as apathy." I don't know if that's the verse you're thinking of, Brian, but it's pretty apt. Seeing your struggle really sends me back about 40 years to when I was probably 11 and 12. I spent several very unhappy summers working for my mom's boyfriend who was a custom hay baler. There were many, many poor decisions on his part that led to many disasters, all of his own making.
Guys I feel your pain, we have a major shortage of feed for the next winter too , but our problem was a drought in may and June and it hasn’t stopped raining since the first of July, we are trying to salvage what we can but it is not even keep them alive fodder and will take a serious amount of grain to be mixed in to bring it up to keep them alive food, you hate selling off core stock that you have spent a lifetime building up but sometimes needs must! Scanned yesterday and it was not great but it is probably a mixed blessing as there is a good few empty so no big decision needed.
You definitely deserve a pat on the back for your great job of welding on the mower Cole. I bet the two of you are happy to be done with the ditch haying, never realized how much people throw in the ditches. Thats a rural road, can't imagine how bad it is on well traveled roads.
If you have a 1/2" thick piece of Copper, you can hold it in inside the cover and weld on top of it to fill the holes. The weld will not stick to the copper.
I’m so sorry for all the troubles y’all have had this summer! I’m so glad that no one was injured. equipment, though costly can be fixed. Your lives can not be replaced!!!
I feel you rpain on the back glass. I broke my door doing something stupid and had glass everywhere. I fixed the door but it has never been quite as good as factory. And I keep finding little glass pieces. Good luck on the weld on the cutter.
Hi Cole, we all understand know you don't normally use the grass in the ditches for hay cause the costs of damage is not worth it. Your repair job on the mower was exceptional, such good welding skills. On top of everything you have the pesky grasshoppers to deal with, let's hope your spray slows them down. Here my song of the day for Brian. A 1970's classic: Boogie by aussie band: Chain. Thanks for sharing. Chris from Australia 🇦🇺.
Sonne Farms are the window breakers, two in about two weeks...doesn't happen on other farm channels. Btw I'm glad Cole is a good welder, solves expensive replacements.
A large, windshield sized plexiglass “helmet “, double stick taped to the window would help bullet (rock) proof it. Cheap and removable. Use the heavy duty 3M tape.
I moved from Ohio to the Philippines and built a steel house. One of the very first things I had built was a fab table. 1/2" X 4' X 8' with 1/2" x 3" angle iron welded to the underside of the table on all 4 sides. The angle is turned so that the edge is 1" thick and we can clamp to it. One of my very best investments here.
My mom worked for Cessna Hydraulics for many years, when they sold out to Eaton she was able to buy a huge fabrication table with a frame above it and light fixtures. My dad was so happy. Well once we got it unloaded and into the shop. That was no easy feat.
Would a small square baler work better for the ditches or would they throw rocks also ? Then you might need to find one of those just for that purpose , might save a window and the wheels .
4:15 Put that on a tee-shirt! "Ditch Bailing. The Sonne Famer Way" Sorry for that, I know you were having some tough time with the lack of hay, but I could not stop myself.
Good video Cole and Brian how much would the hay cost that you made cutting the ditches if yal had to buy it & how much was yal repair bill involved in cutting the ditches ? Stay safe
Sure hope the extra bails make a big difference this winter given the headaches it was to mow, rake and bail them. Of course station WSFIN's Big Daddy DJ Brian came up with another hit for us subs to enjoy.
Do they make guards or cages for your tractor to prevent rock strikes or could you make a temporary one for jobs like this? Seems like it would prevent having to purchase a lot of replacement parts and labor. In years that you have to do this, a temporary guard will be a good thing to bring out and dust off
Nice job making and welding on the replacement skid plate. Would everything correctly if you put a sacrificial skid plate on each one so then you replace those instead of wearing out the real one that holds in the oil ? 🤔
No, Cole, I was thinking as you were vacuuming that at least you got a clean tractor now but the glass will be dirty in about five minutes. ha ha. At least you guys are all prepared for doing ditches next year. 🤣
Hey thank you for the videos and really admire the maturity of the yo ma’am. Something we take for granted and the younger generation that we shouldn’t.
I am impressed with the window & skid plate repair. It is easy to see the cooperative spirit & love between father & son. Neither blaming the other & both working together to correct the problem & get back to the original goal before the break downs. I like it a lot! God bless both.
In
I wish everyone would understand what farmers go through to feed us. Thank you for all you do. Please stay safe, and God bless.
thanks Heather!
Great job Brian and Cole putting the window in the tractor

Not returning a borrowed item is a huge pet peeve for me, I was brought up to return the item at least in a cleaner condition than when borrowed.
This reminds me of the film 'Out of Africa' where Berkeley Cole and Baroness Blixen were discussing a friend who had borrowed a book but didn't return it.

Hey Cole you mentioned in your video that you would have to replace the whole cutter bar to fix that hole. That cutter bar will come apart at each individual module.

There is that thing in old tractors,they turn really good and they flex really good.respect guys✌🏾🙏
Glad your done with ditch hay. Have a great weekend
Thank you Sonne farms
You showed how to be persistent and get the job done despite all the obstacles. That's what separates farmers from the rest of the population!
If there is a profession that is really special, it’s not sports or medicine; it’s the farmer! Without him, we do not EAT!

Hello y'all we used to cut and weld leaf springs on the bottom of our mower worked really well.
Talent upon talent upon talent fixing all those problems. Glad nobody got hurt. You do what has to be done and overcome. KUDOS to both of you.

I live to watch these amazing farmers keep on pushing through the nasty repairs and troubleshooting.
who doesn't like big boy toys and flame throwers?? outstanding!!
Not an easy job is it and I think it is getting to your father, Cole. Good thing he has you to help him.
You don't have to replace the whole cutter bar. New Holland mowers are designed to replace each module.

In my younger days, I used a 1975 IH 666 tractor to cut, rake and bale ditch hay, no glass to brake.
Sonne Farms are the window breakers, two in about two weeks...doesn't happen on other farm channels.
Btw I'm glad Cole is a good welder, solves expensive replacements.
Well that outro sure got me good and FIRED up!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🥵

Great channel as always guys
A large, windshield sized plexiglass “helmet “, double stick taped to the window would help bullet (rock) proof it. Cheap and removable. Use the heavy duty 3M tape.
Would corn head grease work instead of oil in the area you had to repair? It might stay put better and not leak out.
This winter you really should make yourself a fabrication table. 👍
I moved from Ohio to the Philippines and built a steel house. One of the very first things I had built was a fab table. 1/2" X 4' X 8' with 1/2" x 3" angle iron welded to the underside of the table on all 4 sides. The angle is turned so that the edge is 1" thick and we can clamp to it. One of my very best investments here.
My mom worked for Cessna Hydraulics for many years, when they sold out to Eaton she was able to buy a huge fabrication table with a frame above it and light fixtures. My dad was so happy. Well once we got it unloaded and into the shop. That was no easy feat.
Thanks for sharing the good with the bad.
Sorry you had such a rough week. You are both amazing men!
that is so kind!
Would a small square baler work better for the ditches or would they throw rocks also ?
Then you might need to find one of those just for that purpose , might save a window and the wheels .
I'm sure that they would throw rocks also
Been a long summer. I hope alfalfa and harvest are smooth. Heat is rough down here this week.
